Some time ago we ran a photo shoot competition. The couple/family who came up with the best reason as to why they’d like a free shoot, will win a free shoot.

Allison and Heinrich submitted the following phrase:

“No day should be too ordinary to celebrate, and every moment should be worthy of a capture”

This really struck the photo judges and after some deliberation, Allison and Heinrich was chosen as the grand prize winners. Runner up prizes were also awarded but more about that later.

Part I: the streets of Stellies

The couple had free reign to have the shoot done at a location of their choice and with the help of Candice they came up with something they liked. The shoot started through the streets of Stellenbosch on a lovely Winter’s day afternoon. We trailed them as they made their way from coffee shop to ice cream parlour. Incidentally, this was also how Heinrich asked Allison to be his girlfriend a few years ago – in the streets of Stellies! Today their marriage of just over a year has blossomed into a beautiful friendship, where they can be completely relaxed with one another.

Part II: La Pommier

After the streets, we made our way to one of their favourite hangout spot, La Pommier, a restaurant close to Franschoek. By this time the sun was kissing the horizon and we didn’t have too much time left. But here we had even more fun, especially in the vineyards.

Thank you Allison and Heinrich for sharing the latter part of your day with us. It was a memorable and enjoyable journey!
